Let's check in on the brains trust

Yesterday, a bizarre and awful killing happened in public in Brisbane. The police were very quick to say it appeared to be a random event. Over at the Australian right wing's brains trust, a long time Catholic commentator (of Irish ancestry, if I recall correctly, but I stand to be corrected) was to be found speculating:

The lawyer for the man accused of killing a Brisbane bus driver on
Friday morning has described his client as 'numb' during his appearance
in court on Saturday morning.Anthony O'Donohue, 48, did not apply for bail when he briefly appeared in the Brisbane Arrest Court...

Outside court, Adam Magill described the matter as "very heinous" and said he did not expect his client to apply for bail.
"His major concern as far as I'm concerned at this point in time is his mental health, that needs to be assessed," he said.
